LOVE these pants!! But they are VERY POORLY MADE - unusually so for Avenue. The first day I wore them, the inner button popped off and the zipper split apart. No, they were not too tight!! Luckily, I unzipped the zipper and when I zipped it back up, it worked and they closed. But they came open several times throughout the day!! After the first washing, there was an unreparable hole in the seam, and the waistband started coming apart from the body. I actually purchased two other pair, and the buttons have stayed on, but the zipper is doing the same thing in one pair. I love them so much I am going to have the zippers replaced.
